[MetalManiac]

With the Pop Warner Refs that the NFL is poised to hire, this year has the potential to be one for the records

I wont argue with thaT. a FEMALE REF?? Theres got to be one nutless wonder in every crowd who wants to put on a strapon and try to be a man, doesnt there?;I hope she gets crushed by a 300 pound lineman!

What's wrong with female refs?

figured it wouldnt take long for some pansy to come along and side with them.
Women are not emotionally equipped to handle the rigors of NFL officiating.

^ Okay, thanks. I guess I'm being sexist. i apologise. Lets give her a chance.I'm not really okay with it though, but that just a personal opinion that doesnt matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

Pre-season is almost worthless. Rarely does it make or break most players and the veterans come into camp in shape anyway. Two preseason games should be enough to sort out which bubble guys make the team. The rest is just bad football played mostly with guys who will never play in the NFL and game plans and playbooks so vanilla that the teams resemble almost nothing of the team you will actually see on gameday.

I say that, and I'll still watch my Bears because I'm an addict and love football and can't wait for the darn season to start =). So anything is better than nothing for me at this point! However, don't be swayed by ANYTHING you see in preseason football.

HOU vs CAR: Luke Kuekley for CAR has made a big difference. Newton looked ok. CAR couldn't maintain a pocket against the edge rush and Anderson isn't as mobile as Newton so it was a rough game for him. HOU's first drives went off like clockwork and Schaub looked crisp. HOU's defense looks much better.

TEN vs SEA: TEN was sloppy in all phases of the game. Turnovers kept SEA in the game and are what ultimately won it for them. Flynn didn't wow me like he did with GB. That Wilson fake, roll out and touchdown in the last minutes was sweet!

Luke Kuekley is a beast! I'm totally jealous of Carolina.

Oh and Andrew Luck. WOW.

But I swear the main thing I've taken away from all these games... WE NEED OUR OFFICIAL REFS BACK ASAP.

I think Mr. Luck will have a short career in the NFL. He doesn't strike as durable.

STL vs IND: Andrew Luck looked great and had very good timing, but he had a good pocket to work from. STL still can't keep a QB on his feet long enough to put a drive together and had poor defense.

DAL vs OAK: What a complete waste of 2hrs! One field goal?

The Rams O line is Swiss cheese. Not a huge Rams fan but it looks like it will be another miserable season.

[King IzzO)))]

That Rams line looked really, really bad, actually whole team looks really, really bad.

Preseason.

I am kinda wondering how good the Colts can be though.

I'm on the Cam Newton is overrated and will have a sophmore slump side (yes, partly because I'm a Bucs fan, but still), and he did nothing to make me think otherwise. Actually, the Panthers looked really bad too.

Still only preseason.

And Jerry, STFU.

Discussion of week 2 moved to the Professional Football Forum.

Pre-season is just a way to see SOME football to satisfy the cravings, and you get to evaluate some players and get a preview of how they might look during regular season. Beyond that, the games don't mean squat.

Yeah the play calling in the Atlanta-Cincinnati game last night was abysmal.

[TheLivingDead]

The Browns whooped some ass for a change.

Starters actually looked damn good. Feels nice to be confident on 3rd downs... But then again, it was against that ****ty ass GB defense. But eff it. I feel good about our rookies.

See what I mean?

[TheLivingDead]

Palmer looked a little better tonight.
